Ich dachte Ungarn wurde vom Faschismus befreit?
US Author Gil Duršn
warns that Silicon Valley “billionaires have enough money to buy both sides" in any US election.
In his book „The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,“
Duršn pieces together public statements from powerful tech investors like Peter Thiel
that amount to a chilling attack on democracy as we know it.
Duršn criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to take on the big money in tech.
Leider färbte der lange Schatten des Faschismus "Steh auf" stimmungsmäßig für mich mit ein.
Trotzdem gut mal wieder Metalmind zu sehen.
Wer Toneshift (noch mal) sehen möchte, kann das übrigens heute Abend in der Teestube auf dem "Rocktober" tun. 😉

What started as a “two week” (*laughs*) breaking change has mushroomed into a giant six-month monster that has hugely improved every part of Kitten but fuck me if I ever let it get this bad again. So overwhelmed right now and focussing on the small mechanical steps to pull it all together. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to release it this month and then get back to Catalyst and Meow.
Can’t wait to return to frequent small iterations and updates.

" End-times fascism is a fascism that is very much in conversation with planetary-scale existential crises; a fascism that is taking the end of this world for granted.
We thought long and hard about the politics of putting any kind of qualifier on a word like “fascism.” And the reason we ended up deciding that it did need that is we thought about how our world has changed since Mussolini declared himself a fascist.
Our fascists have weapons that last century’s fascists couldn’t dream of. There was no atomic bomb. Hitler and Mussolini died before the Trinity test. They didn’t understand that fossil fuels were warming the planet.
Our world has become more dangerous, and fascism has changed in response and has made peace with the idea of collapse. And now what they’re fighting for is who is going to survive that cataclysm."

This is a conversation that my extremely introverted self and my social-introvert spouse have had many times. (Except I try not to make him feel guilty about it.)
"The tragic recent death of Corey Ruiz in Madison is the latest reminder of a system in crisis. Nine city residents have been shot by Madison #police since the 1990s... taxpayers paid over $10 million in civil settlements.
Focusing on 'bad apples' misses the point. The problem is not that we have a few rogue cops; it is a work design and tactical culture system that predictably …
